Ride Leader Documents

Ride leaders are volunteers giving their time to support the Green Mountain Bicycle Club. Ride leaders are expected to arrive at the designated meeting place 15 minutes before the meeting time, with maps, sign-in sheet and waiver form(s). It is important for ride leaders to attempt to assess the experience level of new riders so that no one is left at the back of the group unwillingly. Ride leaders also discuss planned meeting places for snacks and possible regrouping. Ride leaders are not required or expected to repair bikes or wait for latecomers. Ride leaders are not obligated to lead rides in unsuitable riding conditions (for example during storms) but may have cue sheets available if riders choose to ride on their own.

Club Spins

During the winter months, GMBC offers free spin classes at Synergy Fitness in Williston, VT for club members. In 2018, the spins are on six Thursdays starting on Jan 18th and ending on March 15. Approximately 1 week before the spin class, an announcement will be made on the GMBC email list. Interested members must reply according to the instructions in the email and will be notified within a few days of their acceptance into the class or alternatively their position on the wait list. The class is first come (i.e. first answering the email notification), first served because only 15 seats are available at the fitness center. The classes are open to and suitable for club members of any level, beginner to advanced. If you are accepted, but later cannot use your seat, please notify the organizer so that individuals on the waiting list may be contacted.

The class is a fun way to meet up with cycling friends in the winter. After each spin, members often refuel at a nearby pub. Hope to see you there!
